Party-walls may, perhaps, have led to disputes and even to litigation, with the result that it was sometimes considered less troublesome to build houses with their own four walls. The narrow space left between such separate houses was, however, bricked up at either end, doubtless to prevent cat-burglars from scaling the walls undetected. - [Previous: c5.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.21) - [Next: c5.23](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.23) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5) ## Cites (1) - [Mohenjo-daro](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.mohenjo-daro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.22](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.22) · Pramāṇa
